# Box Elder County: Stratos Project information page **Type:** source **Status:** Useful **Confidence:** Medium **Source Type:** official-page **URL:** https://www.boxeldercountyut.gov/641/Stratos-Project **Archive:** https://web.archive.org/web/20260807124854/https://www.boxeldercountyut.gov/641/Stratos-Project **Archived:** 2026-08-07 **Publisher:** Box Elder County, Utah **Retrieved:** 2026-08-12 **Raw:** raw/stratos-box-elder-county-project-page/2026-08-11-d12e8d106482.txt **Updated:** 2026-08-11 **Relates:** cites [Stratos Data Center](stratos-data-center.md) · https://greatutah.work/pages/stratos-data-center.md · https://www.boxeldercountyut.gov/641/Stratos-Project ## Summary The county's own hub for Stratos, standing up as a public-records desk for a project the county approved and then spent the following three months constraining. It links the county's governing instruments — Resolution 26-11 (MIDA consent), the MIDA–county interlocal agreement 26-15, Ordinance 654 (the 180-day data center moratorium) — plus a project timeline, a referendum page, meeting recordings, a fact sheet, the Utah DEQ's permitting letter, and the county water master plan. It is the single best index to the primary records on the county side. ## Useful Claims - The county publishes Resolution 26-11 (consent to MIDA's creation of the Stratos project area) and the Box Elder County–MIDA Stratos agreement 26-15 as public documents. - The county publishes Ordinance 654, a temporary land use regulation on data centers, adopted after the Stratos consent vote. - The county maintains a Stratos referendum page recording that referendum applications against the consent resolutions were filed and rejected. - The county links a Stratos Project Timeline page, but this hub-page capture does not include timeline dates such as MIDA's first formal presentation to the commission or the final commission vote at the Box Elder County Fairgrounds. - The county links out to the developer's own sites, to MIDA's Stratos page, to the Governor's Office FAQ, and to MIDA's page on `transparent.utah.gov`. ## Verbatim > "This page has been developed to provide residents, media, and community stakeholders with access > to public information related to the Stratos Project, including timelines, public documents, > meeting materials, FAQs, and updates as they become available to the county." > — Page introduction > "The county recognizes there is significant public interest and ongoing community discussion > surrounding this project." > — Page introduction > "Box Elder County is collecting questions from residents ahead of the upcoming meetings regarding > the proposed Stratos Project Area in Box Elder County, Utah.

Its value is as an **index to primary records** — the resolutions, the ordinance, the interlocal agreement, the DEQ letter — rather than as narrative. Two caveats. First, the page is a CivicPlus CMS page whose document links are opaque `/DocumentCenter/View/` URLs; if the county reorganizes, those break, which is why the underlying documents have their own pages here. Second, **Resolution 26-11 as published is a scanned PDF with no text layer**, so its text could not be extracted or quoted; the vote it records is corroborated by the county's own 2026-05-04 press release and by contemporaneous reporting instead. ## Related Pages - [Stratos Data Center](stratos-data-center.md) - [Source: Box Elder County Ordinance 654 — data center moratorium (2026)](stratos-box-elder-county-moratorium-ordinance-654.md) - [Source: Utah DEQ permitting letter to the Box Elder County Commission (2026)](stratos-utah-deq-permitting-letter.md) - [Military Installation Development Authority](military-installation-development-authority.md)
